I had a little bit of red wine hanging around at my house and decided to try some pot roast with it and I scoured my cookbooks a little bit and found a lovely recipe from Ree Drummond that turned out wonderfully.

We have this long standing joke in our family about this one jug of wine that we dubbed our fertility wine. It's how we ended up with Mason, our youngest, and we think it also contributed to two of our siblings' babies. Of course, it's all just coincidence, but the siblings are now very weary of anything that may contain red wine LOL. We used up the last of the gallon jug of the actual fertility wine on this pot roast, but they are still convinced I have a cauldron in the basement that I use to concoct more of it! I swear I am not doing that. ;)
